The Old Bill has tagged me. What a guy. He says: "It's childish, I know, yet for some reason irresistible. Like passing notes in junior high." Well, if that's true, I can only assume that he's either sweet on me or helping me cheat on a test. In any case, in the spirit of continuing the note passing, here are five things you probably don't know about me and then five people I want to tag:

1. I got another tattoo yesterday. While some people around here know that, not many have seen it. It says "shalom".
   
   I have three more tattoos booked for January 3rd - two stars representing the two children we lost earlier this year, and my wifey's name.
   
2. When I was in theatre school [1990-1993], I auditioned for a part in a professional theatrical production in Toronto. I got the lead role, but never performed in the production. I chickened out.
3. I got lost in Algonquin Park when I was 19 years old. I was camping with a few friends, got lost, freaked out, found my way back after 9 hours of being lost. While wandering through the wilderness, I said the classic "God, get me out of this and I'll do whatever you want." Here I am a pastor. I am a man of my word, I guess.
4. When I went to my high school prom, I was dancing in my tux [people used to call me "elastic band boy" because of my unorthodox dancing style] and I split my pants in the crotchal region. It was no small tear either. Very embarrassing.
5. When I asked my wife to marry me [in the ravine beside Tyndale where we first kissed] I cried like a baby. I was shaking like a leaf, felt sick to my stomach, and super-emotional. She still said "yes" because... well, because she couldn't resist my charms obviously.
